As part of the ABS's ongoing commitment to the review and development of statistical standards, the ABS is currently assessing the appropriateness of the suite of product classifications used to produce product-based data. This is a widespread review which is being undertaken in conjunction with other specialised reviews such as the review of the Consumer Price Index Commodity Classification.

This Discussion Paper seeks public comment on the integration of the product classifications used by the ABS, and the resulting coherence of published product-based data.
